Frankie (Aramis Sartorio) leads a miserable life: He has a houseguest,
Tommy (Brett Hundley), whom he can't stand but who constantly hits on his
wife, he has a wife, Katie Apfelschwanze (Thea Martin), who hates him with
a passion (but at least she hates Tommy just as much), and he has just
broken his favourite cup ... Then Katie throws out both Frankie and
Tommy, and Tommy kidnaps her in return. She doesn't even mind that much,
because at least she's rid of Frankie that way, and because Tommy and his
accomplice Gary (David Reynolds) prove to be totally incapable of guarding
their captive. Frankie however has the diffuse urge to save her, not so
much because he wants her back, just to find closure. Thing is, Frankie
has no idea where to look for her, and failing to look in the most obvious
places like Tommy's flowershop (!), he goes on a quest that has him
stumble across a holy hobo (John Karyus), a trio of stoners (Vincent
Cusimano, John Brookbank, Bryan Planer) and their puppet child, a security
guard (Caleb Emerson) tied to a toilet, a sexy robot (Karen Sartorio), an
alien wannabe invader (John Christopher Morton) disguised as a mormon
missionary so his actions seem less odd, and a spy (Sadie Blades) who
spends most of her time slipping on dogshit. He is also visited by a human
butterfly (Evan Stone) and a human spider (Debbie Rochon), but those at
least might be part of his imagination. Ultimately, Frankie actually
finds Katie, but not thanks to his ingenuity but because Tommy and Gary
are kind enough to kidnap him as well (for whatever reason) - but then
they forget to tie him up. It all ends with Tommy and Frankie duking it
out in a burning house with all the other characters watching and cheering
them on. The last words belong to Katie though: "Today is
stupid!" It's pretty safe to say, Frankie in
Blunderland is unlike anything you have ever seen before: It defies
the rules of stringent storytelling, it defies logic, and at times it even
defies the laws of nature. It's pretty much an anything goes-comedy,
but I think it's better described as a tripped out wake-dream,
characterized by its weird cast of characters, violent mood swings and
non-sensical actions and dialogue. Don't try to make sense out of it,
because there is none, except for of course "Today is stupid!" -
and all of this makes Frankie in Blunderland quite so much fun,
it's an immersive trip into someone else's mind that will fuck up your own
- for the duration of the movie that is, and in an enjoyable way. To sum
this up, I can't but repeat, Frankie in Blunderland is unlike
anything you have ever seen before, and it might not be a film for
everyone, it might even offend so called "serious", stuck up
audiences, but if you're able to keep an open mind, you will find lots to
like about this one!
